78 Mr. James Edwards’ Synopsis of 
$. Greyish yellow or pale salmon-coloured ; elytra with a few 
black spots arranged in two oblique bands, one on the basal third, 
the other next the angular nerves; ?, pale green, the spots on the 
elytra reduced to two on the clavus, one at the apex, the other 
near the base, and one or two on the corium next the angular 
nerves. Crown obtusely produced in front. Head, pronotum, 
and scutellum sometimes marked with fuscous or black; in the 
apex of each wing a fuscous streak. Abdomen black, hind 
margins of the segments narrowly pale. Legs pale; tibiz some- 
times dark towards the apex, and with dark points on the outer 
side. Length, 33—4 mm. 
By sweeping in summer, and beating firs in winter 
and spring; not very common. 
XV. TYPHLOCYBIDA. 
Small, elongate species, for the most part brightly coloured. 
Ocelli not or scarcely perceptible, sometimes indicated on the 
forehead. Face very long, triangular. Elytra much longer than 
the abdomen, overlapping at the apex; appendix wanting (except 
in Alebra). Corium with three simple longitudinal nerves only. 
The latter character distinguishes this group from all others. The 
genera are readily separable by the characters derived from the 
neuration of the elytra and wings.
